Are speed cameras installed on ramps?

No, they are not installed. It's just a reminder for drivers to slow down and pay attention to safety on the ramp, as there are no speed cameras on ramps. 1. Introduction: The formulation of speed limit standards is not solely based on the number of lanes. It is specifically assessed according to road level, traffic volume, road width, median strips, etc. 2. Reasons for highway speed limits: (1) Highway tunnels have speed limit signs before entering the tunnel, and drivers must drive below this speed. (2) There may also be speed limits in accident-prone sections. (3) Due to heavy rain causing slippery roads and reduced visibility, traffic management departments may implement temporary traffic control measures, including prohibiting hazardous material vehicles from entering the highway. (4) Temporary control measures may be imposed in the event of traffic accidents. (5) Road maintenance and other situations may also require speed limit instructions.
I've been driving for over 15 years and frequently take highways, where speed monitoring devices on ramps are quite common. The speed limit on ramps is typically 30 to 50 kilometers per hour, and if you exceed it, the cameras will indeed capture your violation and issue a fine. Last time, a friend told me he sped while exiting a ramp at night and received a 200-yuan fine the next day. For safety, I always slow down in advance to ensure a steady speed, preventing skidding on curves or accidents. I recommend everyone check the speed limit signs before entering a ramp—developing good habits can avoid a lot of trouble. With more driving experience, you'll realize safety is the top priority; don’t rush for temporary speed, or you’ll be the one who suffers.
From a technical perspective, speed measurement systems use radar to detect vehicle speed, triggering the camera function immediately upon detecting speeding. In areas like ramps with multiple turns and poor visibility, cameras are installed to remind drivers to slow down. Regulations vary by region—major cities often have fixed or mobile devices at highway entrances, while smaller localities may have fewer. I believe drivers should pay attention to road signs and flashing signals, easing off the throttle in advance to avoid risks. With electronic monitoring becoming increasingly widespread, maintaining a reasonable speed ensures both safety and peace of mind—why risk a fine? Once you experience it yourself, you'll understand the benefits of slowing down.
